“Every Great
Achievement was once considered Impossible.”
-H. Jackson
Brown.
The
World’s tallest mountain was unexplored till 20th Century. But ever since Mount
Everest was discovered to be the world’s tallest peak, it was held impossible
to climb. But in 1953 Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay made it possible by
reaching the top of the highest peak. Ever since that over 4000 climbers have
made it possible.

But
even today reaching the attitude of 8760 meters is not a cakewalk even for
experienced trekkers. Amidst of all difficulties Erik Weihenmayer conquered the
world’s tallest mountain. Weihenmayer’s accomplishment was considered even more
impressive because he lost his eyesight at the age of 13. He was diagnosed with
retinoschisis, a rare eye disease that left him blind.

But
that never stopped him from climbing the highest peaks in several continents.
While there have been many unsuccessful attempts and several deaths in climbing
Mt. Everest, this man stands an inspiration to many. He considers blindness as
just a thing that happened to him and he broke that barrier by holding the
highest peak.
Many
of us become tired just by watching people climb mountains. But everything
seems impossible only till you break the barrier before you. Hence now it’s
your turn to discover the courage in you to accomplish the ultimate goal set
before you. Breaking the limits can transform your life into something
Miraculous. The world will notice you only when you make things that are
considered impossible for you.
Never
forget that “What’s within you is Stronger than What’s in Your Way!”.
